FFXIV players hit out at \u2018double standards\u2019 after Asmongold stream snipers are banned Asmongold\/Square EnixTwitch streamer Asmongold has only been playing Final Fantasy XIV Online for a few days on stream, but he already seems to be having a better time with stream snipers than he ever did with World of Warcraft. Thing is, not everyone\u2019s happy about the special treatment from devs. Asmongold is, without a doubt, one of the biggest MMO streamers on Twitch, and has made waves in recent days after switching his attention to Final Fantasy XIV Online \u2014 what many see as a direct competitor to his old standby, World of Warcraft. His journey from Azeroth to Hydaelyn has already been plenty eventful, to say the least. Asmon raked in over $30K in one stream playing the game, and even got called an \u201ca**hole\u201d by an actual Blizzard employee shortly after making the move. Now, Square Enix seems to be trying to one-up the WoW devs again by actually banning people who are stream sniping, a perk that \u2014 based on other FFXIV players and streamers \u2014 seems to be exclusive. Looks like Square Enix is actually banning the clowns who spent literally hours running after me and streamsniping me Fucking awesome. It’s incredible how easy of a problem this is to solve when a company actually careshttps:\/\/t.co\/RYs6gQ4bvF \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) July 5, 2021 \u201cLooks like Square Enix is actually banning the clowns who spent literally hours running after me and streamsniping me. F***ing awesome,\u201d the streamer wrote on Twitter. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible how easy of a problem this is to solve when a company actually cares.\u201d It\u2019s easy to understand why Asmon would be so hyped about this, as Blizzard wasn\u2019t exactly known for taking care of people who\u2019s only quest objective seemed to be to get in the way and disrupt his gameplay as much as possible. Swedish streamer AnnieFuchsia, shared the same post from Asmon\u2019s subreddit. I remember getting streamsniped, getting griefed, getting clipped on stream with titles such as “”haha rekt”” when the same people killed and harassed me daily when I was trying to level on a pvp server “”It’s part of the game”” is what I was told \u2014 AnnieFuchsia (@anniefuchsia) July 5, 2021 \u201cI remember getting streamsniped, getting griefed, getting clipped on stream with titles such as \u2018haha rekt\u2019 when the same people killed and harassed me daily when I was trying to level on a pvp server,\u201d Annie wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s part of the game\u201d is what I was told.\u201d Annie later clarified that her comments were directed at Blizzard, not Square Enix. It seems a lot of people misunderstood this tweet, sorry about that My point was that Blizzard doesn\u2019t do anything against streamsnipers, whereas Square Enix seems to take action \u2014 AnnieFuchsia (@anniefuchsia) July 5, 2021 FFXIV has been one of the top games on Twitch since Asmongold started playing. Whether or not FFXIV devs will start cracking down on stream snipers across the board, though, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
